Designed and built to handle special type of grossly oversized and very heavy loads, mainly to move self-supported goods such as large-size generator stator, large-size transformer, heavy-duty milling machine, and etc. Equipped with auxiliary equipment such as schanbel bridges, side beams (to act as a depressed center or well type car by placing the side beams in between the two halves), the car can be used to handle non-self-supported (or half-self-supported) cargoes.
DES-D38 380t Schnabel Wagon features reduced pivot system, hydraulic lateral and vertical shifting devices, and weighing device. The reduced pivot system can shorten distance between the load supports, thus automatically reducing the inboard swing out on curves. Utilizing the car, load can be carried at a very minimum distance above the rails and the whole available clearance can be utilized by the load. Additionally, the car is incorporated with hydraulic load equalizer side-bearings and dual-rate springs aiming at safer operation.
